Fatal Frame is coming to the Wii, via Suda 51’s team

Fatal Frame isn't dead. With a new title coming to the Wii from Grasshopper …

Back in September of last year, 1up reported that Tecmo was working on a new update to the Fatal Frame series. It has now been made official, and the details are somewhat crazy: the game is going to be on the Wii, and it's being developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

Grasshopper Manufacture is the Suda 51-led team behind Killer7 and No More Heroes, two games that are far from what you would consider survival horror. Suda himself is working with Hideo Kojima on a title called Project S at the moment, so he may not be leading the project, but this remains an oddball—if pleasingly intriguing—choice for a developer.

Fatal Frame 3 may not have been the best game in the series, but it's still good to see that Fatal Frame is not dead. The first two games featured some of the creepiest gaming ever released, and I'd encourage anyone who has not tracked down the originals to give them a play. Combine the ghost-capturing gameplay with the motion control of the Wii, and you have some very exciting possibilities.
